The party will be contesting the upcoming Guwahati Municipal Council (GMC) elections, which are being held after 9 years on April 21.
Expanding its footprint at the national level after the party's massive victory in the Punjab Assembly elections, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has set its sights on the northeast.
The party will be contesting the upcoming Guwahati Municipal Council (GMC) elections, which are being held after 9 years on April 21.
A total of 200 candidates are in the fray for the 60 wards out of which 50 per cent are reserved for women. The AAP has fielded candidates for 39 seats. Two wards each are reserved for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Castes (Women), one ward for Scheduled Tribes and two for Scheduled Tribes (Women), while 26 wards are reserved for general women and the remaining are open for all.
" As a part of our expansion plans, we are trying to bring AAP's honest politics to the northeast. We have, therefore, chosen to contest the Guwahati civic polls for the first time. We have found that there is a lot of anger against the BJP among people, but they did not have a good alternative as congress now is a weak force here," AAP National Council member and Assam in-charge, Rajesh Sharma told NDTV.
The AAP surprised many by releasing an early-bird first list of 11 candidates - of whom three are recent joinees from the Congress and three from the BJP - for next year's Delhi Assembly election.
